Tick Tock

I have these friends that I love to watch enjoy themselves. The little moments where they light up and think that nobody is watching. These are the times that I love these people most of all; their eyes sparkling with delight.

When I started on this series of graphics, I began with a photograph that I took in New Zealand of some friends of mine. They took each others hand without even turning an eye; as though they knew that it would be there waiting when they reached out.

I have thought about the concept of time a lot in my process too. This is something that I do not usually dwell on but it seemed to play side by side with my other thoughts as I began working with this image.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. ~Elbert Hubbard

Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you. ~Annie Dillard

Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live. ~Nicolas de Chamfort

You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it. ~Charles Buxton

About Me

This space is dedicated to expressing myself as an artist. I have found that my passion lies somewhere in between Graphic Art and Photography. I am studying Graphic Design. I love the way art works can spark a thought and allow people to see something differently.
I am cataloging my art to reflect upon myself and the world that surrounds me as I find for myself the place that inspires and drives me most.
Please leave your comments behind as helpful inspiration for me: "Seek Criticism, Not Praise"
